Well done to our two Paralympian gold medal winners, Lily van den Broecke and Natasha Baker.
The Paralympics is a wonderful celebration of the talents of people who have overcome great physical challenges.
Let’s hope it shines a light on the lives of all disabled people though, not just those who triumph in sport, and not just once every four years.
